    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yeah I buy the systems too - then wait for someone to figure out how to unlock them. I haven’t hacked my release Switch yet but have everything I need to do so. Have an unlocked Wii, Wii U, and new 3DS as well. But I also have bought probably 20 Switch cartridges (when they went on sale and I...

    Job Hunting

    I’ve been applying for roles I have 15+ years of experience in and just not hearing anything back. I see several things get reposted regularly - not sure if it’s someone in HR just trying to justify their existence or looking for someone who checks a diversity box.

    2023-2024 College Football. And then there were 4

    I’d like to slap Tommy’s teeth out of his skull right now. Special teams hands you the ball at the one yard line and you don’t put your 215 lb. QB under center?

    Man our offense is just awful. I think I felt better after the Texas loss than I will after this game.

    Grats @Foggy, Longhorns handed us our asses tonight. I hope some reporter has the cojones to ask our fucking offensive line if they think what they’re playing is murderball. It’s definitely joyless.

    Sailing on the Seas of Fate - Plague Ships of Nurgle

    Back before Covid there were a couple well reported (I.e. demagoguery) outbreaks of rhinovirus and the typical interviews with people talking about vomit in the hallways… so on and so forth. We’re on our sixth cruise and have not experienced said occurrences. I’ve heard nothing but good things...

    New World

    I’ve always thought being able to build upon your progress would solve a lot of this - even if it’s minor to allow late starters to contribute, giving a small bonus by melding old armor to new (call it whatever, just don’t completely erase past gear) would go a long way towards appeasing your...

    I grabbed enough at $7.20 to get me to 8/2025 as well, may also extend it out to 2026, thanks for the heads up Ut!

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Nothing like telling your 19 year-old son and his friends you’re done playing CoD for the evening and he makes the mistake of asking what you’re going to do… “Your mom, bud.”

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I have a three box group in the mid-30s, but I’m spoiled by mouse wheel scroll to third person, just can’t get used to how the old client manages the camera.

    Yeah I just added a little over a year via the Eneba deals (got a Slickdeals alert), probably should have added more.

    My son (22) can pick me up now. He does still hit me up to play though - video games, he cuts me some slack since my FPS skills aren’t hitting on much now at 53.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Only issue I’ve had is the charm pet window being weird and not going away when charm breaks (FTE side effect evidently). Not having trains dropped on you is nice.

    Sailing on the Seas of Fate - Plague Ships of Nurgle

    Wife and I are doing a 9-night New England/Canada cruise for our 30th anniversary. We were looking at Caribbean itineraries and were not finding anything we liked so I started widening the search - this is on one of the ships we prefer, is 2 more nights and was less expensive, so we’re giving...

    Looks like a 180 question assessment that gives both capability and personality profile. I don’t have any concerns about testing, was just curious about this particular one.

    Playstation 5

    I’m glad I have a save in the first game that allows me to go back and brutally murder Roidchick’s dad from time to time… hmm, I need to see what they’ve done with mods on pc and “acquire” the game on it.

    I think /yell is proximity and also gives others your direction, whereas /shout is the zone wide red letter text.

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    Yeah I’ve had one pair of Corsair headphones and they were terrible (RGB70). Just looking on Amazon (all of these wired) I see the JBL Quantum 300 for $50 and Steel Series Artic 5 for $70. I’ve not used these specific headsets but have had good luck with the brands.

    The Beer Thread

    I’ll usually get the Sierra Nevada/New Belgium variety packs if they’re available, local grocery will run a sale that gets a 12 pack under $14 and I’ll stock up. Then I’ll occasionally buy a couple of 4-pack pints of something local to have.

    First computer was a VIC-20 with a cassette drive, hooked up to a black and white tv. Upgraded a couple years later to the C64 with a 1541 disk drive. Keyed in so many programs from Compute! Magazine I learned BASIC through immersion.
